I bought a Richard pry bar, a 10” straight bar with a beefy yellow handle at Ollie’s, which of course is a closeout liquidator. Never heard of the company before, and you never know if the stuff they sell is **** or not, but since it was only $2.49, so I said what the heck. I got it home where...

I was driving to work one Monday morning this past summer. Stopped at a busy intersection waiting for a light at the height of rush hour, I noticed a shiny piece of steel lying in the middle of the intersection. I watched as cars drove over it, some hitting it, until it was my turn. Put my four...

.....Sort of like who shops where and why. If HF suits a need, I will definetly shop it. Not a second thought given. So, they employ thousands of Americans.....YAY! I don't need that justification to spend my money. I do feel that investing heavily in imported products is counter productive to...

Forgive my submission of upside down photos

Sorry for the delay....here is a shot of the set. Difficult to get a great pic of the logo due to the flash. I have also included shots of a 1985 Blackhawk, a 2002 and a 2004 Craftsman to illustrate the similarities and differences. The later models, while retaining the same patent number...

Hello All Hope I am not posting this in the wrong place, if so, please forgive me. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. My honey, who knows me too well, gave me the coolest gift ever.....a bunch of forgotten and rusty tools. The chief interesting thing were some 80's era Mac wrenches...
